Shawn Mendes addresses rumors about his sexuality in new song

Shawn Mendes defends himself against critics and addresses rumors about his sexuality in a new single

There is nothing that lasts Shawn Mendes back from singing about the rumors.

During a recent performance in New York City, the 26-year-old debuted a new song called “The Mountain” from his upcoming album Shawn. In a TikTok video shared by a fan on October 19, Shawn performed the new single, which appears to address the rumors about his sexuality, among other comments he's seen about himself.

In the clip, Shawn strums his guitar as he plays his guitar and sings the lyrics: “I've had a change of heart / You can say what you gotta say / You can say I'm too young / You can say I have it.” “I’m old too/you can say I like girls or boys/whatever suits your taste.”

As Shawn sings the lyrics, the crowd begins to cheer.

E! News reached out to Shawn's rep about the lyrics but have not yet heard back.
